Washington Wizards

More than a month into the 2015-16 NBA regular season, everything is just as we thought it would be. LOL, jk. Much about the league’s landscape does make sense. The Warriors are godlike. The Spurs are right behind them. No one in the Eastern Conference can touch the Cavaliers. Not much else makes sense, though. [...]

Paul George certainly talks the talk, but can he also walk the walk? Yes. Just ask the Washington Wizards. Ahead of the Indiana Pacers’ Tuesday night’s tilt in Washington, Paul George, now 25 and playing through his 6th NBA season, declared that he’s a better player than he was before he suffered his broken leg [...]

Come one, come all, you’re just in time to take part in the first NBA power rankings of the holiday season! This is big stuff, I know, so we’ll get right to it. A lot is happening now that the 2015-16 season is hitting its stride. The Warriors are still the Warriors; the Pacers are [...]

The Washington Wizards offense cannot catch a break. Martell Webster, who emerged as the Wizards’ most reliable three-point shooter in 2012-13 and 2013-14, is set to undergo hip surgery that will essentially end his 2015-16 season, according to The Washington Post‘s Jorge Castillo When Martell Webster was informed he had a partially torn labrum in [...]

It seems that someone forgot to tell the Houston Rockets that the NBA’s 2015-16 regular season is underway. The early part of 2015-16 has no doubt been weird. Some of the usual juggernauts are juggernauting, but this year’s landscape is rife with early-season underachievers, the fast-plummeting Rockets being among them. Can Houston regain its 2014-15 [...]

When Kevin Durant finally enters free agency this summer, the Washington Wizards are expected to be one of his foremost suitors. It makes sense, after all. Kevin Durant was born in D.C. and attended high school in Maryland. His return would have a “Hometown kid saves local sporting organization” feel. It’s enough to make people [...]

NBA Power Rankings are back! After a short delay, the return of The Hoop Doctors’ weekly look at where the league stands is once again ready for liftoff. There are no rules here, so check your need for order at the door. These rankings, like always, are going to change from week to week. That’s [...]

Kevin Durant made his annual trip to his backyard to take on the Wizards. Whenever this is the case, the talk will be about his pending free agency. But on this night, the talk was more about Durant’s latest injury. KD left the game in the first half with a strained hamstring and did not [...]

Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant share core NBA fandom beliefs. Durant and his Oklahoma City Thunder will face off against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night, a weekday date that has naturally incited questions about Durant’s impending free agency, and whether he will ultimately join the Wizards, his “hometown” team. Born in Washington and having [...]

The San Antonio Spurs were looking end their three-game road trip on a winning note when they paid the Washington Wizards a visit at Verizon Center last night. Bradley Beal wasn’t so certain. Things almost went according to plan for Greg Popovich and company as they held on to the lead after three quarters. But [...]
